    I just got one of my own, over the summer I was using my father's P67. He uses Mamiya RZ67s and Hasselblad 553s, so the P67 rarely gets any love from him any more.

    DSC01757ret2

    ok Im only posting this one because Im amazed at dumb luck sometimes. I was home visiting and taking some pictures around the covered bridges. I just ran into one and snapped a shot looking out. When I got home I realized that somehow I had taken the picture where the main colours are split in the scene perfectly along the foreground window. I wasn't even looking at composition much even a few months ago and no Im starting to to get it a lot more...gotta look before you shoot. Do you ever get into situations where you just race to take the picture and really dont take the time to look at what you are shooting?

    I'm laughing at myself because I actually thought this was a stitched panorama and the moral of the story was going to be "never miss that middle photo when taking a series to pano stitch." What do you use to post-process, snakes? I've noticed some chromatic aberration in your shots and lightroom or bridge will take it out in a jiffy. Not that I think it's ruining your photos, which are great, but we're all here to improve, right?

    Now that I look at the full image at flickr (my browser is cutting it off a bit and I didn't bother zooming), I have to say I really like the framing by the window in that shot, snakes. It reminds me of a Mark Rothko painting the way it's split like that.

    Haha Im glad I posted this one then. Its funny that it could almost look like a mistake in a pano. I use Photoshop, and usually just the raw importer to process the raw files. i have lightroom but I like the sliders instead of the button clicks in it. I guess I just dont know what to look for for the chromatic aberration in the shots to fix it. I wish i knew Regulator75's settings are, I would love to get images like that right out of the camera.

    Don't we all wish we knew regulator's secrets?
    There's a chromatic aberration slider either in lightroom (in the detail section of the develop module) or in adobe bridge (which I think is what you mean by RAW importer in photoshop). You zoom way in on a high contrast area at the edge of your photos and you'll see if it's not a perfect transition from bright to dark—the color bleeds into one or the other in chromatic aberration. here's a severe example from wikipedia
    Then you change the sliders until it goes away.

    Ah, thank you , I will have to play around with that. and no I dont mean bridge, I have that too, when you drag the nef file into photoshop the "Raw Importer 5.4) opens to process the nef before import to photoshop.

    This has zero processing. It's cool Winter blue in Calgary.

    Always great pictures and also always neat to figure out where you took the shot from: I think this one was taken from the "Tom Campbell Hill"

    I was in Calgary last Thursday to pick up my Nikon N80 from Fedex, You were about 15 degrees warmer than Red Deer that day, I used to Live in Calgary, have thought about moving there again, You live in a Great City BTW

    Jessi, I love the way the top and bottom are almost perfect inverses of each other in that shot. Great composition. Don't be shy!

    Mt. Laguna, the first is looking west at the forest. The second is looking east at the desert, 6000 feet down. I stood in the exact same spot in both of these believe it or not. She's centered because I had issues getting the focus on the side for a thirds shot so deal lol
